How to reboot Bond— Announce 5 finalists for casting. Don't announce a winner, don't show his face in trailers. COLD OPEN: Casino. Pan around poker table, looking down at cards as we hear finalists' voices bet, call, etc. Reveal their faces… Attack! 4 die in action sequence. #5 winks at us… CREDITS!

Valuable thread about journalism and how most of us non-journalists reflexively think wrong about it.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

fully 50% of the most recent People Magazine's Sexiest Men Alive (TM) were humanities majors (and the others didn't go to college). Which points to an ongoing crisis in higher education: why are STEM programs taking our tax dollars yet failing to give our young men critical Sexiness skills?!

Looks like X is juicing web visit numbers by opening a browser WebView in the background whether the user visits the link or not. They've re-invented pop-under fraud (allegedly).

Remember, they're currently arguing that Biden's pardons are illegitimate because he signed the actual forms with an autopen. Trump, meanwhile, repeatedly insists he knows nothing at all about one of his very controversial pardons. Never heard of the guy! Sorta seems like a problem.

God knows how many times this has happened: Zero. Much like Vance lying about Haitian immigrants eating people's pets, this is 100% racist bullshit being spewed by an unabashed white nationalist. Congrats to everyone who patronizes the Nazi bar he runs.

money should be banished it’s meaningless. All trades should be done as barter. I have a chicken you have a hammer. What if I’m at the market and I want your chicken and I didn’t bring my hammer I should be able to give you a special unique token that represents the hammer that I’ll deliver later
